Because We All Know Taxes Actually Go Towards War And Not “Social Programs”

Military jets on runway with soldiers walking nearby, illustrating an anarchist mocking statist perspective on taxes.

burneralt012:

They go towards “social programs” too, but most of the money is spent on bureaucracy and corruption, and government always pays far too much money compared to companies, so very little actually money actually ends up in the pockets of the poor as a result. We’ve spent 15 trillion on the war on poverty so far, and the rate is still the same.

opaqueperson:

As a disclaimer, let’s not jump on the bandwagon to say Amazon (or the “rich”) doesn’t pay taxes. Amazon does pay the legally required taxes, or the IRS would be hounding them. They just make little to no profits so they pay limited income taxes, due to losses, costs, and other totally normal, totally legal situations. And of course #TaxationIsTheft

Researchers Michalis Mamakos and Eli Finkel studied politically engaged users’ behavior on Reddit. They found that those who facilitate a toxic environment on non-partisan subreddits do the same thing on political ones.

“Our findings suggest that online political discourse is uncivil largely because the people who opt into it are generally uncivil,” Mamakos said. “Such individuals undermine the democratic values that should be present in the public sphere.”

Oh, Americans Hate The Bill Of Rights Now? The USA Is Screwed. From The Grovel Institute

Tweet from Gravel Institute mocking statist views on the Constitution, related to anarchists mocking statists' questionable takes.

TheAmbiguousAnswer:

The constitution includes voting rights, banning slavery, and the Bill of Rights; more specifically, it includes amendments that guarantee you can speak out on tyranny (1st Amendment), resist them invading your life (4th Amendment), and guarantees you can back those rights (and others) up with force (the 2nd Amendment, our favorite amendment).
I can understand wanting to amend the constitution, but when someone wants to throw nearly 30 of those amendments that have accumulated over 300 years, and start a new one… really f**king sus.

VoidAgent:

I think some people simply do not fully grasp how integral to the existence of the United States the Constitution is. To them, it’s more like…a really famous Congressional bill or maybe a Supreme Court ruling. Important, but we could probably do without it. In actuality, it is the document that outlines that which the US is built upon. Without the Constitution, the United States is simply not the United States anymore.

Some Boot-Licking In My Fortune Cookie

A note mocking statists, stating a patriot rejoices in getting a parking ticket as proof the system works, reflecting anarchist views.

the9trances:

I think it’s pretty insightful, actually.
People who claim to love “democracy” only truly love it when their personal flavor wins and forces its view on the rest. This seems like a satirical take on that.

deefop:

Quite true.
I’m listening to a Tom Woods episode today with Peter Schiff where he’s talking about living down in Puerto Rico, and they have tons of elite progressives from California moving down there to escape the horrific taxes, all while vociferously rooting for politicians that will increase the very taxes they’re trying to escape.
It’s f**king mind boggling and hypocritical to a fare thee well.

The People Who Work On Supermarket Checkouts Are Capitalist Oppressors

An anarchist post on Socialism_101 questioning if cashiers belong to the working class under Marxist analysis.

SRIrwinkil:

These are the same folks who don’t consider any trades person who makes money a true part of the working class, the reason clearly being that well paid working folk absolutely disproves some of their root theories.
Trash goblins think that plumbers aren’t working class simply because they made good money.

The “[Stuff] Statists Say” subreddit is the place for netizens with slightly anarchistic views. Yet we have to be exact here: anarchism and anti-statism are two different things. Anarchists are usually against establishments of any kind, believing that all governments are (or are destined to become) evil. Anti-statists tend to be more moderate, believing in the minimization of state and its power.

Why save for your family if the government’s gonna steal all your possessions when you die? This is a great way to eliminate motivation.

What Does She Think The Second Amendment Is For? Hunting?

Tweet from Charlotte Clymer criticizing gun brandishing at Michigan protest, highlighting anarchists mocking statists' questionable takes.

Savant_Guarde:

I stop paying attention when people start out with the debate tactic “call to authority”.
I am vet and gun owner but…
Means nothing to the argument. It’s kinda like when Mark Kelly says the same s**t, right before he drops to his knees for Bloomberg.
